Hello All You Art Enthusiasts !
Hey, friends!
Welcome!!
Oh, we are loving our new room! We love all our space!! It was good to see many of you at our open house!
2nd through 5th grades are learning to look and see the world around them with a study of deciduous trees in winter dress. Our plan is to be aware of what we see and be prepared to reproduce it first by pencil technique, and then texturizing with either marker or crayon. Afterward, we will enhance our sky by highlighting the morning or evening sunrise or sunset with either a paint wash or crayon blending. We are embracing four art elements...line, shape, color, and space according to the art content standards.
3rd grade will continue with a birch tree project using masking tape, crayon, marker, watercolor, and salt( to sparkle our sky).
2nd grade and 3rd grades will learn to read directions independently to create a 3/4 pose of a snowman employing pose, use of sized circles and either construction paper crayons or oil pastels.
K and 1st will finish people drawing. The use of joint and body segments, plus measuring for body proportion will be encouraged.
K and 1st will begin still-life. 1st will paint theirs with tempera.
4th and 5th will cut snowflakes after a discussion of Snowflake Bentley and create a poem to include in their composition of white and blue.
All these projects cover a plethera of elements and principles in art as topic disciplines according to state and national standards for art education.
If you have a chance, listen to "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield. It is a song about those things seen and done without words. It reminds me of "listening" and "reading" a child's accomplishments poetically.
March is Art Month...do some art at home.
Add crayola artist and the colored pencil sculpture artist to your web hunting.
THANKS FOR VISITING ME!!
See you on the sidewalk!
Mrs. Meador
